Upstream Linux Developers Take Aim At TUXEDO's Out-Of-Tree GPLv3 Drivers
A new patch series posted today to the Linux kernel mailing list would block kernel modules/drivers from TUXEDO Computers from accessing GPL-only symbols in the kernel.
Thus Linux developer Uwe Kleine-König took to drafting this set of patches to prevent these TUXEDO GPLv3 drivers from accessing the GPL (v2) only kernel symbols: What I want to say: If the end goal is upstream support for our devices nothing is speed up by the relicensing, arguably it's slowed down because someone now has to sort out legal stuff. If you want to take on the actual coding work yourself, please do so, I will give you advice as I did with Armins uniwill laptop driver and several times on the mailing list.
